Inversions

In an inversion your head ends up below your hips. This group includes gentle Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose, Shoulder Stand, Plow Pose, Headstand, Handstand and Forearm Stand. Apart from Legs-Up-the-Wall, these are intermediate and advanced poses that you work toward gradually and with preparation.

Glaucoma and high blood pressure are contraindications for every inversion, while neck injuries and pregnancy rule out Shoulder Stand, Headstand and Plow. Each pose card has the details.
